Thesis (Ph.D.)--Brandeis University, 1994.

This thesis addresses how, when and above all, why, do we sometimes negate the rhythmic or quantitative properties of an edge constituent without negating its segmental properties? Considerable insight into the nature of the problem has been provided by Hayes (1979 et seq) as well as by Harris (1983) and Inkelas (1989). For Hayes and Harris, the how question is solved with a rule which renders the edge constituent invisible just prior to the application of stress rules. For Inkelas, the explanation lies in the mismatch between the domain of phonological rule application and the morphological string. Similarly, Ito (1986) introduces the concept of extraprosodic licensing for edge constituents that are neither prosodically licensed nor deleted. Each of these approaches invoke the phenomenon of unrealized rhythmic and quantitative properties, which I refer to as weak parsing.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This thesis addresses how, when and above all, why, do we sometimes negate the rhythmic or quantitative properties of an edge constituent without negating its segmental properties? Considerable insight into the nature of the problem has been provided by Hayes (1979 et seq) as well as by Harris (1983) and Inkelas (1989). For Hayes and Harris, the how question is solved with a rule which renders the edge constituent invisible just prior to the application of stress rules. For Inkelas, the explanation lies in the mismatch between the domain of phonological rule application and the morphological string. Similarly, Ito (1986) introduces the concept of extraprosodic licensing for edge constituents that are neither prosodically licensed nor deleted. Each of these approaches invoke the phenomenon of unrealized rhythmic and quantitative properties, which I refer to as weak parsing.
520 $a This thesis is couched within a framework known as Optimality Theory (Prince and Smolensky 1992, 1993), allowing us to focus on the when and the why of the problem. The how part is left to GEN, the function which takes the input and assigns to it a (possibly infinite) set of candidate analyses. Here this would involve the construction of many different parses, including the weak parse alluded to above. Since weak parsing is in general to be avoided, the why question becomes, what is the nature of the higher ranking constraint which can force weak parsing to be in fact optimal? The answer I propose, is a rhythmic constraint, a generalized version of Prince and Smolensky's Nonfinality constraint. Final stress is non-rhythmic, and just in case Rhythm dominates Strict-Parse, weak parsing effects will be observed. Moreover, the principle of minimal violation provides the necessary means to constrain the when aspect of weak parsing. This account is completely compatible with a general theory of prosodic organization and constituent well- formedness: deviations occur only under duress.
520 $a In addition to the explanatory aspects of the theoretical analysis, this thesis makes an empirical contribution. The examination of a number of languages that exhibit the phenomenon in question reveals a wide array of effects, for which a typological analysis is given.
